Detailed organic characterization of process water to evaluate reverse osmosis membrane fouling in industrial wastewater treatment by Minier-Matar, Joel

“…One of the key challenges for RO membranes application to industrial wastewater treatment is fouling which is frequently attributed to the soluble organics present in the water and/or associated with field chemicals. In this study, a detailed organic characterization methodology, using liquid chromatography with organic carbon detector (LC-OCD) was applied to characterize the organics on a real process water collected from industrial wastewater treatment plant at a gas production facility. …”

Downlink Interference Analysis of UAV-Based mmWave Fronthaul for Small Cell Networks by Dabiri, Mohammad Taghi

“…The results show that, in the presence of UAV's fluctuations, optimizing radiation pattern shape requires balancing an inherent tradeoff between increasing pattern gain to reduce the interference as well as to compensate large path loss at mmWave frequencies and decreasing it to alleviate the adverse effect of a UAV's vibrations.…”

Nickel Toxicity Interferes with NO3−/NH4+ Uptake and Nitrogen Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Rizwan, Muhammad

“…We evaluated the effects of Ni concentrations on nitrate (NO3−) and ammonium (NH4+) concentrations, and nitrogen metabolism enzyme activity in rice seedlings grown in hydroponic systems, using different Ni concentrations. A Ni concentration of 200 µM significantly decreased the NO3− concentration in rice leaves, as well as the activities of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), glutamine synthetase (GS), and glutamate synthetase (GOGAT), respectively, when compared to the control. …”
